Description: Learn how to record, mix, and master a full song using Cubase 12
Welcome to the new Cubase 12 Basic Training Course! You’ll learn how to use Cubase 12 by recording a full song! After years of producing music for artists and myself, I’ve found that there’s no better way to teach someone how to use Cubase than by walking them through the process of creating a full song. This course is the real deal! Think of this as a personal, one-on-one training session with me in my studio, where I’ll show you how to set up Cubase, cover the most important controls, and then guide you through the process of recording and mixing each individual instrument, all the way to the final stages of mixing, mastering, and exporting your final track. The goal of this course is to teach you the most important and fundamental controls and features of Cubase, as well as how to use them to complete a full song production, while showing you and walking you through the process itself. By the end of this course, you should feel prepared and empowered to use Cubase to record your own songs and albums and release them to the public. For the beginner or intermediate user, no stone is left unturned. This course covers everything from setting up your tracks to recording, compiling, editing, pitch correction, EQ, compression, reverb, and more. My goal here is to help take someone completely new to Cubase 12 and develop them to a relatively high level of competence so they can confidently release their own music. I hope you enjoy this course; it’s an honor for me to show you how the whole process works. Enjoy learning and recording! Blessings, Mark

No Cubase experience required. I’ll take you from zero to hero!
You’ll need a computer with Cubase 12 installed, a MIDI keyboard, and an audio interface.
It would be nice if you had a MIDI drum kit, bass guitar, and bass guitars, but it’s not required. It’ll just make things more fun!
